I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

I saw this several years ago, so when it popped up to stream for free on Netflix, I decided to put it on the docket for tonight. The Magdalene Sisters is a story about three women who are sent to live in a convent to work off crimes that they did not commit. Fair warning: it is heartbreaking to watch at times, but so worth it.

Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it.
